How many words is your toddler saying?

Mine says a few words but isn’t mimicking me, saying dada or saying words very clearly. Relatively clearly says “mama” “ball” “snack” “bird” “duck” and maybe a few more. I see so many other children able to say a lot more and much clearer and I’m worried 😟

My almost 16 month says water, cheese and uh oh! She also says mumumumum and dadadada but don't think she's necessarily labelling us yet

I don’t think you need to worry. They are some great words! My eldest didn’t say anything other than mama, up and more until he was 2 and a half and he’s a happy healthy 6 year old chatterbox now. Sounds like they are off to a good start !

My little one says a lot of words and started quite a while ago, but it’s absolutely all swings and roundabouts. I have a group of friends and we all have babies born between May-August and they’re all so so different. The ones who say less have a lot more motor skills down than my little one. They’re all so different and I would say your little one is right where they need to be! 💗

that’s really good to hear thank you. I don’t see many babies around his age apart from ones online!

I'd say 30-50 words but I have an older child that didn't say 10 words by 18 months and doesn't stop talking now! They're all so different!

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
